ABSTRACT
Distributed ledger technology offers numerous desirable attributes to applications in the enterprise context. However, with distributed data and decentralized computation on a shared platform, privacy and confidentiality challenges arise. Any design for an enterprise system needs to carefully cater for use case specific privacy and confidentiality needs. With the goal to facilitate the design of enterprise solutions, this paper aims to provide a guide to navigate and aid in decisions around common requirements and mechanisms that prevent the leakage of private and confidential information. To further contextualize key concepts, the design guide is then applied to three enterprise DLT protocols: Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, and Quorum.
